Preparation and characterization of poly(hydroxyalkanoate) from the fermentation of Haloferax mediterranei

Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2006
In this study, fed-batch fermentation of Haloferax mediterranei using glucose and yeast extract as carbon and nitrogen source, respectively, was carried out to produce poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA). After fermentation for 117 h, the concentration of H. mediterranei and PHA content reached 85.8 g/l and 48.6%, respectively.

Characterization of genes for chitin catabolism in Haloferax mediterranei

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2013
Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide after cellulose. But degradation of chitin has never been reported in haloarchaea. In this study, we revealed that Haloferax mediterranei, a metabolically versatile haloarchaeon, could utilize colloidal or powdered chitin for growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV ...

Transcriptional profiles of Haloferax mediterranei based on nitrogen availability

Journal of Biotechnology, 2015
The haloarchaeon Haloferax mediterranei is able to grow in the presence of different inorganic and organic nitrogen sources by means of the assimilatory pathway under aerobic conditions. In order to identify genes of potential importance in nitrogen metabolism and its regulation in the halophilic microorganism, we have analysed its global gene ...

Biopolymer Production by Haloferax Mediterranei

1991
The halobacterium H. mediterranei is an organism of biotechnological potential due to its capacity as polymer producer. This microorganism accumulates poly-s-hydroxybutyrate as intracellular granules in very large amounts. PHB is an interesting biopolymer for its possible use as biodegradable thermoplastic.

α-Amylase activity from the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei

Extremophiles, 2003
The halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei is able to grow in a minimal medium containing ammonium acetate as a carbon and nitrogen source. When this medium is enriched with starch, alpha-amylase activity is excreted to the medium in low concentration. Here we report methods to concentrate and purify the enzyme.
